The Atlas Six
Author: Olivie Blake
Publisher: Tor Books
ISBN: 1250854555
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 453
Book Description
The much-acclaimed BookTok sensation, Olivie Blake's The Atlas Six--now newly revised and edited with additional content. • The tag #theatlassix has millions of views on TikTok • A dark academic debut fantasy with an established cult following that reads like THE SECRET HISTORY meets THE UMBRELLA ACADEMY • The first in an explosive trilogy The Alexandrian Society, caretakers of lost knowledge from the greatest civilizations of antiquity, are the foremost secret society of magical academicians in the world. Those who earn a place among the Alexandrians will secure a life of wealth, power, and prestige beyond their wildest dreams, and each decade, only the six most uniquely talented magicians are selected to be considered for initiation. Enter the latest round of six: Libby Rhodes and Nico de Varona, unwilling halves of an unfathomable whole, who exert uncanny control over every element of physicality. Reina Mori, a naturalist, who can intuit the language of life itself. Parisa Kamali, a telepath who can traverse the depths of the subconscious, navigating worlds inside the human mind. Callum Nova, an empath easily mistaken for a manipulative illusionist, who can influence the intimate workings of a person’s inner self. Finally, there is Tristan Caine, who can see through illusions to a new structure of reality—an ability so rare that neither he nor his peers can fully grasp its implications. When the candidates are recruited by the mysterious Atlas Blakely, they are told they will have one year to qualify for initiation, during which time they will be permitted preliminary access to the Society’s archives and judged based on their contributions to various subjects of impossibility: time and space, luck and thought, life and death. Five, they are told, will be initiated. One will be eliminated. The six potential initiates will fight to survive the next year of their lives, and if they can prove themselves to be the best among their rivals, most of them will. Most of them.

Charles and Barbara Blackman
Author: Christabel Blackman
Publisher: Thames & Hudson Australia
ISBN: 1760764957
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 243
Book Description
This ebook has a fixed layout and is best viewed on a widescreen, full-colour tablet. When Christabel Blackman's mother turned ninety, they celebrated by sifting through Barbara's old documents: diaries, photos, manuscripts - and a fragile old folder, tied with a ribbon. This held letters from a love long past between Christabel's parents. It was a portal into a decade of art and love between Charles and Barbara Blackman. Set against the burgeoning cultural art scene of 1950s Melbourne, among the soon-to-become legendary artists of the Heide group, Christabel weaves the story of Charles and Barbara and the influence they had on each other, and on the Australian art world. These handwritten letters vividly conjure the feeling of the time, and breathe life into the names that are now found in galleries around the world. Charles writes descriptive sketches of his encounters and sentiments to his new love Barbara, who is in turn experiencing her own transformations: the loss of her eyesight, life with a matriarchal mother and her growing literary and intellectual ambitions. In this intimate and immersive account, Christabel reveals her parents' unswerving devotion and blazing creativity, and shares insights into the iconic people they were becoming. With over 160 artworks from Charles Blackman, as well as never-before-seen sketches, letters, documents and photos, it is a beautiful and revealing portrait of two people, their art, and a world they changed forever.

Connecting with E. M. Forster
Author: Tim Leggatt
Publisher: Hesperus Press
ISBN: 1780940343
Category : Literary Criticism
Languages : en
Pages : 136
Book Description
A moving and insightful biography of the later years of classic British author E.M. Forster’s life, written by his close personal friend Tim Leggatt. In 1946, many years after the last of his acclaimed novels was published, E.M. Forster was made a fellow of King’s College, Cambridge, where he was to spend much of his later life. It was here that he met Tim Leggatt, a young undergraduate who was to become a firm friend. In this memoir Leggatt draws for the first time on the previously unpublished correspondence he exchanged with Forster, as well as journals of their travels together, Forster’s own confidential diary and his Commonplace Book. In Forster’s declining years his thoughts often concerned his tangled sex life and his health, his increasing blindness and deafness and his hospital visits, all of which led him think about death, how he would meet it, and how others did. Included are many of his sharp and attractive descriptions of people and scenes, those of a very perceptive and thoughtful writer.

Why Me?
Author: Donald E. Westlake
Publisher: Open Road Media
ISBN: 1453229221
Category : Fiction
Languages : en
Pages : 165
Book Description
Be careful what you steal . . . A fast-paced crime caper from the Edgar Award–winning author and “funniest man in the world” (The Washington Post Book World). The Byzantine Fire is much more than a ninety-carat ruby. As a stone it’s worth over a million dollars, a value vastly increased by its pure gold band—but its history makes it priceless. A ring that has been fought for with sword and pen, and passed from nation to nation by all manner of theft and trickery, it finally made its way to the United States. The US has agreed to return it to Turkey, but it’s about to be stolen twice more. A gang of Greeks armed with Sten guns burst into the security room at JFK Airport and escape with the priceless stone, which they deposit in the safe at a small jeweler’s shop in Queens. A few hours later, unlucky thief John Dortmunder, expecting a routine robbery, steals it again. Much blood has been shed for this little ruby, and Dortmunder’s could be next.
